McCauley Falls reminds me of a sort of uglier, smaller version of Waukeena Falls in the Columbia Gorge.  The falls drop down and then run over a very pretty series of rocks and boulders before running under the road.  Getting close up views requires whacking through a never-ending mess of blackberry bushes.  Only the bottom 50' or so of the falls can be seen from the base and I haven't attempted to climb above that yet.

DIRECTIONS - Head north on Highway 203 from Duvall.  In a couple of miles, the falls can be seen high up on the hillside to the right of the highway.  Drive past the falls and turn onto a small, dirt road next to a farm (it looks like a driveway but it's not).  Follow the road behind the barn and drive until you cross over the creek.
